The only thing that was considered for penetration was Soviet steel helmets at 500 yards with the steel penetrator. (Which wasn't a great feat by any means at all). 5.56 was chosen because more more could be carried by the foot soldier than what could be carried with 7.62x51 and also rifles were more manageable on auto fire than what they were with 7.62x51. 5.56 is only more accurate at distance than 7.62x39, 7.62x51 more accurate than 5.56 at further ranges. 7.62x51 can reach and still be useful at much greater ranges than 5.56 is even capable of obtaining.

Thank you for sharing. Too many people have been watching movies and think bullets travel through water… think you have proved it doesn’t take much water to make a bullet none lethal. Shallow end of a swimming pool is enough. Not only don’t bullets travel through water well; they often skip off the surface. This is why they teach you in hunters safety if a body of water is behind your target, don’t shoot.

Seeing that huge volume of water come blasting out of the tank feels like a good visualization of just how much energy is stored in a bullet. It's frankly really impressive.

"X" foot-pounds of energy stopping within less than two seconds means that the energy must be dispersed somewhere. The .308 illustrated that perfectly. The .223 also[9mm... All of them] Cool thing to watch.

These high-speed videos are getting better and better. Great work, guys.

Hydrostatic shock can be extremely destructive. You can use the same box for the larger rounds, just bring a half dozen replacement polycarbonate fronts with you.

Ok, officialy the 4th coolest thing I've seen on KZread. Very nice 👍

Polycarbonate (Lexan) is a different material than acrylic (Plexiglass). Polycarbonate is almost shatter proof, and is sometimes used for bulletproof barriers. It has a blueish hue. Acrylic is cheaper, is more brittle, and has a slight yellowish hue.

The ballistic head makes it interesting, but I'd like to see a re-test where a ballistic gel cube is placed so that there's no where for the bullet to go but into the Gel. Systematically moving the gel cube back will allow for proper estimates of "how much water is bullet proof" for each round.

When you make your new box instead of it being with an adhesive on the glass to bond it along with bolting it. Put a rubber gasket between the glass and the frame with a metal ring around the outside for support, then bolt it down. That way, when or if the glass breaks, you can replace it with another glass and not have to call it a day.

🔥Awesome! Need to rebuild. Larger tank for sure. Some suggestions…. * Test multiple speed projectiles, (250ish FPS up through 4000+FPS), of the same caliber, ideally same bullet. As speed is VERY impactful on results, slower, to a certain point, will travel further, very fast will disintegrate upon impact, pending projectile composition of course. * Pressure transducers at various distances in the tank to measure the hydrostatic peak pressures! * Maybe test extremes, Daisy Redrider BB gun, air rifles low and high end, up to a beyond .50… (maybe colab with Scott at Kentucky Ballistics?… )

THAT was AWESOME!!!!! GREAT episode guys. Can't wait for the next box!
